I enjoyed Wonka. I thought it was a good movie. It’s a fun movie for the holidays. Timothee Chalamet was a standout as Willy Wonka. He really fit the role well. The rest of the cast did a great job. Hugh Grant did a good job as an Oompa Loompa.

Wonka is a musical. The music was very good. All the songs fit well. The cast did a good job. Wonka had a good story and as a prequel it worked very well. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has had two other famous adaptations which include the Gene Wilder Version which was also a musical and came out in the 70s and the Johny Depp version that came out in the 2000s. Wonka is just as good as both those versions. I liked Wonka better than Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I was not that big of a fan of that one. I did like the Johnny Depp version better. Wonka ranks high up.

Wonka is a fun movie for the holidays. It has a solid cast and a good story.  The music is fun and is a solid prequel to a famous character.
